Gameplay is choppy on ps5

I’m not much of a die hard looking for a challenge but this has recently started to happen and is cause a bit of a head ache. The game play is super choppy and the characters are all over the place. I had it installed in an external HDD with out issue until recently and then moved over to the consoles SSD  and still didn’t fix the issue. Also for some stupid reason the video format on my phone won’t upload the clip of the issues to this complaint…..

  • I'm sorry to hear about the gameplay issues you're experiencing on your PS5. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to address the choppiness and character movement problems:

    • Check for updates: Ensure that both your game and your console's software are up to date. Developers often release patches and updates that can address performance issues and improve overall gameplay.
    • Restart your console: Try restarting your PS5. Sometimes, temporary glitches or software conflicts can cause performance problems, and a fresh start can resolve them.
    • Clear cache: Clearing the cache on your console can help improve performance. To do this, turn off your PS5 completely, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on.
    • Check your internet connection: Make sure your internet connection is stable. Even if you're playing a single-player game, a poor internet connection can affect performance. If possible, connect your PS5 directly to your router with an Ethernet cable for the best connection.
    • Adjust display settings: On your PS5, navigate to the settings menu and check your display settings. Ensure that you're using a compatible resolution and refresh rate for your TV or monitor. Experiment with different settings to see if it improves the gameplay experience.
    • Reinstall the game: Uninstall the game from your console and then reinstall it. This can help if there are any corrupted or missing game files that are causing the choppy gameplay.


    If the issue persists after trying these steps, it's recommended to reach out to the game's official support or the PlayStation support team for further assistance. They may have additional troubleshooting steps specific to the game or console that can help resolve the problem.

    @tajfunek129 Thanks for your suggestions, unfortunately none of these were remedies as the issue continues. I tried other games as well such as rocket league, fall guys and battle front and all played super smooth
